Nittany Dodgers Bid Fond Farewell to Longtime Star

The Nittany Dodger organization recently made a trade sending their longtime star Tiki Barber to the Philadelphia Freedom.

"We wish Tiki all the best with his new team. We did not come to this decision lightly. We have always loved Tiki. He's been an integral part of our team since 2003, but we decided we needed to move in a different direction."

The Nittany Dodgers received Reggie Wayne, Isaac Bruce and Bryant Johnson for Barber.

"Reggie Wayne was a player we are familiar with. We had him in last year, but couldn't afford to keep him this year. With the emergence of Gore, we felt it was in our best interests to move Barber to solidify our WR corp. Bruce will fit in nicely into the starting lineup, especially with Kevin Curtis on the bench."

Tiki leaves the team as the all time leading scorer in Nittany Dodger history with 928.95 points. His 41 games for the Dodgers are second only to Tony Gonzalez' 55. His 22.7 points ranks behind only Rich Gannon's 26.9 among players with at least 10 games for the Dodgers.
